Indian captive By: Lois Lenski

Well this book is about a girl named Mary Jemison and she is 12 years old and is captured by the Seneca tribe of the Iroquois of western New York. They came and raided her house. Mary, called Molly, her family, and Betsey Wheelock, and her children, were captured by the Indians. They had to walk for days, with hardly anything to eat. Soon they came to a resting place. The Indian chief, Shagbark, took off Molly's shoes and replaced them with moccasins. Then Davy Wheelock was brought to the chief. He had already been given moccasins to wear. In a low and sad voice, Molly's mother told her that she and Davy would be taken on a long trip. Molly's mother told her to never forget her name or her father's name and certainly not to forget her own name. She also told Molly to pray at all time and to remember to speak in English.

Why I didn’t like this book? This book was not that good because it was just not my type of book that I like to read and it was just really boring and if I had to pick between that book and another book, I would pick the other book.

Characterization- the creation and convincing representation of fictitious characters.
